Nevada County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) announced today that eastbound Interstate 80 (I-80) between Floriston and the California/Nevada State line will be subject to intermittent closures Saturday, August 14 from 6 a.m. to noon.   The closures are necessary for a big rig accident removal.  Motorists can expect delays of up to 60 minutes.

To minimize delays, Caltrans recommends that motorists consider the following alternate routes to Reno and beyond:

  • U.S. Highway 50 east to Highway 395 north
  • Highway 70 north to Highway 395 south
  • I-80 east to Highway 267 south, drive past Tahoe’s north shore to Highway 431 (Mt. Rose Highway)

 

Caltrans also recommends to use caution in this area and to "Slow for the Cone Zone."  For more information, visit www.getacross80.com.
